On Friday, April 7, Panic will raise the price of its small portable game console Playdate by $20 – from $179 to $199.
Until then, it is still possible to purchase the device at the lower price, so if you have been considering getting a Playdate, it’s not a bad idea to go for it now. If you haven’t been considering it, you can just keep scrolling. According to Panic, the price increase is due to increased manufacturing costs.
